1. You'll Be Stronger

Caffeine has been shown to be beneficial during weight lifting.

One study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that participants were able to lift more total weight in a chest press, or a back squat and achieved a greater peak power during a high-intensity, exhaustive exercise test on a bike, after even a moderate dose of caffeine.

In another study – A group of elite swimmers were given about 300 mg of caffeine 2.5 hours before diving into a 1500 meter swim. Those that consumed caffeine were faster – significantly.
